1. Which filter, layer blend, or adjustment layer effect was the most important to the success of your image?
I think using a layer mask and deleting all the excess background on my pictures making it a little bit easier to blend together. I also move the layers so some stuff is overlapping. Like i moved all the fish below the titanic layer so its a little more blended together.

2. What object is the EMPHASIS in your work? How did you make it stand out?

The emphasis of this work is the scuba diver. I made it stand out more by making it the top layer so its a little bit brighter rather then being blended into the background of my work.

 Victor Moscoso. Made in 1967 for the Chambers brothers. I choose this picture because it involves bright colors and is kind of psychedelic. It reminds me of the Woodstock Music Festival. I enjoy that time period because a lot of great artists arose out of it, music wise and actual art wise.

Dietmar Winkler. Made in 1969 for Cobal a computer programming course. I choose this one because its kind of like 3-d. because most of the times the colors red and blue are used to make 3-d images. I like how its kinda stacked on top of each other it makes everything stand out a lot more.

Erin Doyle. Made i 2014 for the Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre's play Othello. I enjoy it because the tripes make it look like a lot of different people put together to create one man. The beard on the edge looks like it has a corse texture to it. Like it seems kinda of curly and and kinda rough.

 Looking at koalas make me happy. I think they are really cute and anytime is see a picture of them they bring me complete happiness.
The disney castle represents happiness to me because a lot of people choose to travel there every year. They take pictures outside the castle with loved ones and have huge looks of joy on their faces. The company of disney puts out a ton of tv shows and movies that people of all ages can enjoy.
The people in this picture are the band Nirvana. Most are probably wondering how they connect to the definition of Nirvana. Well the bands music brings joy to so many people in life, including my best friend. She loves everything they stand for, overtime she's in a sad mood she turns on their music and is overcome with joy.
